Inspired by the woman for whom it is named, the Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity at Wake Forest School of Medicine is dedicated to the goal of achieving health equity. The Center's mission focuses on Research, Community Outreach and Faculty and Student Development:
The Center, according to its director, Ronny Bell, is appropriately named for Maya Angelou, who has served as the Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University since 1981.
"She is an international figure highly regarded in areas of human rights," said Bell. "When we think about health equity, we think of it in terms of social justice."
Angelou is a prominent author, poet, educator, producer, actress, filmmaker, and civil rights activist. Her best-known book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, describes her time spent growing up in the era of segregation. She worked with Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1960s as Northern Coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Last November, Angelou was named one of 15 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country's highest civilian honor.
One year before the Center opened, the National Healthcare Disparities Report revealed that minorities tend to receive lower-quality health care than whites even when insurance status, income, age, and severity of conditions are comparable. With a primary focus on African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and American Indians, the expertise developed at the Angelou Center positions it as a key national resource to reduce the gap in health disparities.
"We've been able to disseminate health information to people who would not otherwise get that information," said Bell, who is professor of Epidemiology and Prevention at the Medical Center in addition to his leadership role with the Angelou Center. "We try to reach a lot of different population groups."
The Center is co-directed by Dr. Bettina Beech, Professor of Social Sciences and Health Policy. The Center's Research Program is directed by Dr. Alain Bertoni, Associate Professor of Internal Medical and Epidemiology and Prevention. The Community Outreach Program is directed by Dr. David Mount, Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine. The Faculty and Student Development Program is co-directed by Dr. Jorge Calles, Professor of Internal Medicine (Endocrinology) and Dr. Brenda Latham-Sadler, Associate Professor of Family and Community Medicine.
Angelou Center projects and programs include:
In partnership with Que Pasa Media, the Hispanic Health Media Project works to increase the health literacy of the Latino population in 4 target areas:
"La Clínica del Pueblo" (The People's Clinic), a weekly radio program and corresponding newspaper column, was developed to address these 4 target areas. The show has rapidly gained in popularity in the North Carolina Latino community, with an average of 10 calls during each hour-long weekly radio show.
Popular program topics have included alcohol abuse, cancer in women, cold and flu, cardiovascular disease, smoking and tobacco risk, HIV/AIDS, depression, and family planning. Medical Center faculty members have participated as guest experts for some segments.
A photojournalism project involving 24 African Americans from Forsyth County and surrounding areas provided participants with the opportunity to tell their own stories of living with chronic illness as patients or caregivers. In collaboration with Delta Fine Arts, the project provided resources for participants to document1month of their lives in living with illness or taking care of others who suffer from disease.
The project serves to educate the community at large about the problem of racial and ethnic health disparities. The exhibit has traveled around the region as an educational opportunity to share the participants' stories. The photos have appeared in medical centers, art galleries and educational settings.
In partnership with the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, the Angelou Center is participating in a research study of Lumbee Indian youth and their cultural behaviors. The study is funded by the National Institutes of Health.
The 2-year project, called "Lumbee Rite of Passage" is studying the effects of Lumbee cultural influences on Lumbee Indian youth regarding suicide, self-esteem, depression and other mental health issues.
"Suicide among American Indian youth is a very serious problem and has only recently gained attention," said Bell, who is the lead investigator for the study and an enrolled member of the Lumbee Tribe.
The program aims to increase awareness of health career opportunities among minority students at all levels of schooling.
"There's a great need to enhance the number of minority students in medical and health professions," said Bell.
The program also works to foster career development of minority faculty at the School of Medicine and increase the number of minority faculty at senior levels and in leadership positions.
Information about additional Angelou Center programs is available on the Center's website.

Easter Weekend Provides Fireworks At HPT.Com Speedway!
Larry Lowrey Jr.
April 23, 2011
Topeka, KS -Easter Weekend at HPT.Com Speedway felt a little more like the Fourth of July on Saturday night. Fans might have been looking for eggs, but what they got seemed like a basket full of fireworks.
Dave Samuels has won a track championship at HPT.Com Speedway and he has picked off 2 feature wins in 2011. In a feature that was packed full of excitement, it was Samuels that walked away with feature win number 3 out of 4 in 2011.
Samuels started 11th in the evenings feature event. He would have to bust his way through some impressive talent to get to the front. In 15 laps it could have seemed impossible, not to Samuels.
Getting the jump on the field at the start of the main event was Jim Powell Jr. Powell took to the lead and looked to be extending it throughout the night. Powell warded off the early challenges in the night, but there was one challenge that was still coming on strong.
As the laps wound down in the main event, Samuels had finally moved into the 2nd position and set his sites on the leader, Powell. As the white flag was waved by HPT Flag man, Bob Bardsley, Samuels knew that he had one chance remaining. The two went down the back stretch heading for turn number three.
When Samuels got to turn 3, he was on the back bumper of Powell. Powell pushed up off the bottom of the race track. As Powell went up the track Samuels swooped in on the bottom of the track. The two would exit turn number 4 making contact and then having to dodge a lapped as they went by the flag stand. Samuels had inched out Powell by 12 inches at the line. An exciting end to a great feature event.
Steve Herrick finished in the 3rd position, it was another strong night for Gerald Wahwahsuck as he finished in the top 5 yet again and rounding out the top 5 was Zachary Henrey.
If late race heroics weren't your cup of tea, than tonight might have not been your favorite night of the 2011 season. The B Mod feature packed in a lot of excitement too.
Last season Dustin Thulin was a multiple feature winner at HPT.Com Speedway. This season he has a new car and has been working the kinks out of it. After Saturday night, it's save to say that 99 percent of the kinks should be gone after an impressive win.
It would take the B Mods a little while to get going, but once again when they got going they put on a show.
Thulin took to the point from the outset of the race. He won his heat race and started on the pole of the feature event. He would use all the energy he could muster behind the wheel of his new TRE by Bone Chassis.
The winner from opening night, Dalton Kirk, made it back to race again at HPT. He would find himself in a familiar position. Kirk was looking to take over the lead while sitting in the 2nd position.
Even though he is a young driver, Kirk showed a lot of maturity on the track. Close and clean racing is what he is about. Kirk and Thulin went toe-to-toe in the late goings of the race, but each driver gave the other the respect that drivers should show each other on the track. On the last few laps Kirk made runs at Thulin but could not get the job done as Thulin would win his 1st feature of 2011.
Curtis Dreasher ran up front all night long and finished in the 3rd position, Mike Higley turned a lot of heads after starting 22nd and finishing 4th in the feature and Mike Eisenhut kept his string of good features together finishing in the 5th position.
If someone was looking for pure jubilation they might have found it in the pit area with Randy Kohn. Kohn picked up his 1st career win on Saturday night.
The excitement was nothing short of spectacular. Kohn got out of his car and celebrated the win with the fans in the crowd. It was a win that has been a long time coming. The feature race was a nerve racking win for the first time winner, Kohn.
During the feature event Kohn had put together a very comfortable sized lead on the rest of the competition. Kohn looked to be walking to his 1st win. That was until a couple of late cautions reset the stage.
AJ Christian had been up front most of the night too. Could he jump passed Kohn on one of the final restarts? The question begged to be asked and Kohn had the answer.
Kohn would hold off AJ Christian to the flag. It was both an exciting and emotional win for Kohn as he was interviewed on the front straightaway. In just his 2nd full season of racing he located victory lane.
AJ Christian has been close in 2011, just not close enough to pull down a win. Saturday night was the same old routine again, finish in the top 5. Christian did just that picking up the 2nd place finish. Daniel Canady, Jimmy Millard and Sandy Okruhlik rounded out the top 5.
Modifieds were the last class to take to the track for their feature event on Saturday. Cody Agler rolled to his 1st win of the 2011 season.
Agler, the youngster from Emporia, is coming off his 3rd full season of racing. Last year in his sophomore season he picked up multiple wins at HPT.Com Speedway. It took him 4 races to get his 1st win of 2011, but don't expect it to be his last.
The green flag dropped on the A Main, it was Agler who got the drop and took off with the lead.
Last week it was Agler trying to run down Darron Fuqua and this week the rest of the Modified competitors were looking to run Agler down.
They didn't get the job done. Agler kept his poise and composure and drove on to an easy victory.
Steven Bowers Jr. started in the 22nd spot on the starting grid. Earlier in the night he was having some issues, but it appears that his crew is top notch. They got Bowers fixed and out on the race track. Just past the halfway point, Bowers began to catch fire.
Working the line that nobody wanted to run. It was about as high as you could get on the track without knocking the wall down. Bowers, in the end, would roll past 20 cars on his way to finishing 2nd in the A main.
Third place went to a hard charging Shad Badder, 4th was Justin Folk and the 5th position went to Allen Henrey.
Next week the BriggsAuto.Com Super Saturday Showdown returns to HPT.Com Speedway. Gates will open up at 5:30, hot laps are scheduled for 6:15 and the races go green at 7:00 p.m.
Ticket prices are $10 for adults, children are $5, seniors are $8 and for military personnel with their i.d.'s will get in for FREE!

A/C Testing and Tune-Up
An efficient system can save you money.
Properly maintaining your air conditioning (A/C) systems central A/C or heat pump can improve energy efficiency. Periodic inspection and maintenance helps ensure your system is working at its optimum level to provide a comfortable temperature inside your home.
Many A/C systems have inefficient areas such as dirty coils or improper refrigerant levels that require extra energy to work at their current pace.
Our A/C Testing and Tune-Up Program can help you find ways to substantially reduce your energy usage and cooling expenses if your system is working overtime. We work with local service providers who can identify inefficient areas affecting your system.
How much does it cost?
These services are offered to our residential and commercial customers at discounted rates per system.
LG&E and KU will supplement the cost of both services — cleaning coils and correcting refrigerant levels — in an effort to make the services more affordable for our customers.
If the certified A/C testing technician identifies additional problem areas beyond what is covered within our program, he or she must notify customers in advance so customers can decide whether or not they would like to pay for the additional services. These additional services and associated costs are at the customers' expense and are outside the scope of the program.

Brooklyn >Beauty > Salon Gio & Day Spa
8312 13th Ave, Brooklyn, NY | Directions 1122840.615640 -74.012702
Sun 9am-3pm;
Tue 10am-7pm;
Wed-Fri 10am-8pm;
Sat 9am-6pm
Neighborhoods: Dyker Heights
Glad I took the Bus – I am so glad that I took the bus the other day, because I met a woman and really admired her hair color. After talking with her, she told me she had it done at a salon called Salon Gio, which wasn't too far from my apartment. She referred me to Susan, who is their master colorist. When I got there, she gave me a consultation and I felt very comfortable with her approach and explanation of color in how she would create the result I was looking for. Once she was done, she felt that I should get a blow out, even though I wasn't scheduled for one, she referred me to Alex, who was not only a sweetheart, did an excellent job. I was able to see my hair finished and felt great. Both Susan and Alex are great, are really professional and provide a great service. You will be very satisfied in going to Salon Gio just as I did.
I WISH I COULD KEEP HER A SECRET – I received some spa gift certificates for my birthday. Due to surgery I was not able to use them until now. Because they run out soon, I have had to go to many of them in the past month so I feel that I can very fairly compare the massage therapists at the various salons. By far, Mary Lou is the GREATEST! From her warm up (no other place in the neighborhood does that) to the warm, oiled stones on the face, she makes you feel like you are truly in heaven. When I tried to book for next week - no go- she's filled up already! Guess that's what happens when you are THAT GOOD. CONGRATS to SALON GIO for employing a truly gifted massage therapist! Merry Christmas and God's blessings to all the wonderful, welcoming, energetic staff at Salon Gio
Don't be fooled by the physical beauty of the salon! – I went to Salon Gio for many years. I liked them so much they did my hair and makeup for my son's wedding. Susan is a wonderful hair colorist and I must say very professional. She also stands behind her work. However I had 3 keratin treatments and did not have the same results. Crystal did my treatment the first time and it took beautifully. The second time I did not have the same results. Members of the salon agreed that I should ask her to touch it up. She did. The third time, $250 later, the treatment did not take. I called Crystal and told her about it. She told me that it wasn't her fault if i sweat, and that she will not consider fixing it. She was quite nasty. When I spoke with the owner, Thomas, he was very pleasant however, by no means made any effort to repair and satisfy me as a valuable customer. Actually he told me I continue using the salon, but there wasn't anything he could do. Interesting, i visited another spa in the neighborhood who did the treatment and I had excellent results. Bottom line they do not stand by their work. I was a very pleasant and low key client who enjoyed visiting the salon, but I would by no means refer anyone to them. Lesson learned there were two approaches to a customer. Crystal who was right out rude but I at least knew where she was coming from. However Thomas was very pleasant but the message was the same.
Here at Salon Gio we hold every client with high regard. Each customer is important to us and our staff is trained to satisfy and accommodate their needs. Unfortunately, in this case, this client was advised of the product Manufacturer?s ?do?s and don?ts? for Brazilian Keratin Treatment management as the rest of the procedure doesn?t end when you walk out the salon?s door. The client is strictly instructed NOT to get they?re hair wet for 3 days which includes sweating. All activity that induces such conditions must be avoided. The client sadly disregarded this which significantly shortened the life of the treatment. We informed the client that we would be happy to re-do the treatment for a cost. (We repeated the treatment FREE of charge after the first complaint) She was not receptive to this agreement and thus produced this grievance.
Best hair salon! – I have been seeing Thomas at Salon Gio for about 8 years now and would not see any one else. I've tried other salons in the Brooklyn area and have always been disappointed. I had my hair done for my engagement party and got plenty of compliments. I also slept in Brooklyn the night before my wedding (I lived in NJ at the time) so that I can have my hair done at the salon and it came out beautiful! Thomas did what he had to do to make me look amazing! They all have a great eye for what do looks best on you and you surley will not be disappointed!
Disappointment – Sadly the service has been declining for a long while. I hung in there out of loyalty and convenience but this last haircut was really bad and the attiude that accompanied it was not appreciated. Simply put, they don't value their customers.
Was a long time customer...no longer. I am taking my business elsewhere.
THE BEST I cannot believe the bad things people are saying – THE BEST
I cannot believe the bad things people are saying about Salon Gio. If you have never been there before give it a chance you won't regret it. The staff is very friendly and aim to please. You will love both the busy energy of the salon and the tranquility that the spa upstairs offers. As far as whoever wrote that they've been going for five years and never liked it. Who in their right mind spends their money for services they dont like for five years?
I disagree! – I totally disagree with any of these reviews,,,,You can't believe everything you read or hear, I believe only hateful jealous people would write such a thing,,,,,I've known them for 10 years , they couldn't be more friendlier, eager to please people. They're honest and don't perform services just to make money!
Don't get your hair blown out here! – Unless you can handle the smell of burning hair, a red scalp, and painful burns, don't get your hair blown out here! I have been a loyal customer for 5years and have spent thousands of dollars getting my hair cut and colored by the Master Colorist and Master Stylist - and they do a fantastic job, every time. However, when it comes time for a blowout by one of the other stylists, it's sloppy, rushed, ROUGH, painful and careless. I have had my hair blown out by all of them, hoping to find one who actually wants to do it right, and each time is the same result. They could care less about blowing my hair out if they aren't the one cutting it - they even complained and groaned about how long my hair is - TOO BAD! I will continue to get my hair done here, but I will walk out of there with a soaking wet head every time rather than have one of those girls touch my hair.
High end salon prices - supercuts quality – I don't know what happened to this salon. My initial visit was wonderful - friendly service and a beautiful haircut. That was way back when they had a smaller location on 11th avenue. Subsequent visits have proven to decline a little more each time, down to the point where I actually hate the cut. It seems the stylists can't embrace the concept of "EVENLY distributed layers". Instead they always seem to opt for that lovely helmet-hair mullet-y look that looks good on NO ONE. It used to be a great place, I just think that the stylists need to brush up on their skills. No matter, I'm done with that place.
Over rated – Reviews can't be trusted as many are written by the salon, family and friends.
That said, I've gone to other salons based on rave reviews only to be disappointed by the usual. Salon Gio is no different. It's fine. No better or worse than anywhere else. The spa is over rated.

Family friend Emerson Duque tells the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/SDzKG2) that Snyder died Wednesday at his Huntington Beach home. The cause of death isn't determined.
Snyder represented Boyle Heights and other eastern neighborhoods from 1967 to 1985. He backed anti-gang programs and brought affordable housing projects to the largely Latino area.
The colorful Snyder also was involved in several accidents in city cars, survived a trial for drunken driving, made headlines by eloping with a 19-year-old aide and survived a recall attempt.
He became a lobbyist after leaving the council. His law license was briefly suspended following a 1996 misdemeanor conviction for campaign finance violations.

Pizza >Fortei's Pizza Den
9932 Mackenzie Rd, St Louis, MO | Directions 6312338.537968 -90.323514
mon - ; tue - ; wed - ; thu - ; fri - ; sat - ; sun -
Neighborhoods: Saint Louis, Affton
Very Rude Owner Shelly Fortel – Shelly is one of the cruelest and rudest people I have ever seen. The statements she made about 1 of her employees on Facebook are unbelievable. Judging by how she treats employees I will never go in this place again.
C minus food -- save your $$$ – My wife and I dined here last week, and we're not very impressed with what they have to offer. We ordered a large tossed salad and a large three-topping pizza. The salad came in a styrofoam take-out box: the lettuce was wilted and the mushrooms were slimy with black spots. Poor quality control.
Our pizza was just OK, considering all the other places around with STL-style pizza. The crust was of average consistency, and lacked any real flavor. The sauce was syrupy-sweet (full of high-fructose corn syrup?) and overpowered the taste of the pizza. Also, although the crust and sauce were cooked, but the toppings were almost raw, which makes me believe that they pre-cook their crusts, and when they get an order they top them and return them to the oven. Not good eats.
With all the other good pizza places in town, we won't be returning here.
Good, not great, for families. – I can't see brining up the local police as a reason to avoid a restaurant... In fact, the local police directed me to Fortel's tonight and then, on second thought, joined me.
Very good pizza. Thin, St. Louis style crust with a tangy sauce and real cheese. Hot peppers and cheese on the table. Free refills. (Large cheese and two drinks: $17.00.)
O.K. family atmosphere: there are lots of video games for kids, televisions everywhere, beer for the adults, crayons and placemat games for kids.
Two suggestions:
1) Instead of showing sports on all of the television screens, why not dedicate a few of them to some family entertainment? silent movies (my choice); old cartoons; little Einsteins. It would offer a bit more for the kids and give the place even more of a family atmosphere.
2) The game-room could use some updating and some more family-friendly games. War and commercialism seem to be the dominant themes here: dismember terrorists or buy a chance at a new watch. Maybe that's just what videogames are these days, though.
It seems overall that there is a fundamental tension in this restaurant: is it a pizza sports bar or a family restaurant? At the moment, these two tendencies are in conflict: Too much sports for a family restaurant and too little smoking for a sports bar.
good but not ron and shirleys – I live in fl now but used to visit Fortels since it was right around the corner from my house. Not bad pizza but Ron and Shirleys on Gravois was my favorite. I know they closed a long time ago but I still have dreams of that pie!!
It is what it is. – Their pizza tastes a lot like what my mother used to make. What separates Fortel's from your regular chains is that the ingredients taste a lot fresher to me...specifically the onions and mushrooms. Also, I haven't found many places that will put shrimp on pizza but this place does and it seems (and smells) so wrong but it tastes so right.
I'm usually a huge fan of Imo's but this place comes in at a close second.
its alright – ok fortel's is alright the sauce needs a little something but it s still not like any thing special heck i'd rather if i had a choice either go to napoli's ,blackthorne,la pizza ,faraci's or even raccanelis but if i here one more person say its because they have mozzarella i'll go nuts ok seriouslly mozzarella as a cheese really has no flavor by the recipe . Simply put THEY USE IT BECAUSE ITS CHEAP!!!! But back to the point it's alright .
Best pizza in St. Louis...Fortel's caters to your appetite. Wonderful people!!! – I am a transplant from Pittsburgh Pa. Believe me I had a difficult time finding good pizza in St. Louis. Everything was your everyday pizza chains. Finally, I found Fortel's, a family run Pizzaria for families. Fortel's is a great place to dine after the game. It is a great place to have any celebration. Fortel's takes pride in its product and always satisfies new and established customers. I just wish Fortel's would open a restaurant in Oakville, Mo. Thanks Fortel's, for making me feel at home in St. Louis!
Gross – The pizza is terrible. It is like they pour a bunch of suger into the sauce. It's terrible. I went with a chef freind of mine and he literally demanded his money back.
WOW! – Best pizza I have ever had! Reasonably priced, game room the kids loved, and patio the adults loved. We will be back!!
Unbelievably Dazzling Pizza!! – If you are looking for the best crust sauce and topping selection in town, search no further. Everything is so flavorful and fresh, all the time. I can attest that I have never been disappointed at Fortel's West location. I also highly reccomend the appetizers. Give them a try and you will be hooked.

They say that April showers bring May flowers but March brings March Madness. This is the time when college basketball fans feverishly compile brackets and glue themselves to their TVs. I think it's safe to say that we've all lost someone to March Madness, as the afflicted individual shuts themselves away from society for several weeks, but there's always the chance that your bracketology wasn't quite up to scratch this season. If your top seeds were eliminated early on, you may find yourself with a March entirely free from basketball obligations.
So what to do with yourself? Now that it's officially springtime, you could always venture outdoors. Temperatures are rising and flowers are beginning to bloom, so there's no better time to sit in a local park and take a break.
On the flip side, isn't it just about time for midterms? I know it gets harder to study the warmer it gets (as I sit here watching interviews with "The Hunger Games" cast instead of writing a paper) but summer is on the horizon and I know you have some gas left in your tank, right? Hey, if I can write 2,000 words about Brutalist British architecture, you can handle your class assignments, too!
The coming of summer also means that the search for the perfect internship is in full swing. Though it's fairly late in the season to be getting into the internship game, there are still countless positions looking to be filled. Now's a great time to brush off your resume, hit up the campus career center and start applying.
Bank account looking a little dry? There's never a wrong time to be applying for scholarships for next semester! (Though, if you're reading this on the Scholarships.com blog, I'm sure you already know that!) Trust me: As someone who received a $4,500 stipend for a little extra study abroad wiggle room, I can tell you that it's worth the effort.
See, just because your basketball team is a lost cause doesn't mean March has to be!

The results of a poll conducted by Sallie Mae and Gallup were released today, painting a picture of where Americans across income levels find money for college. The study found that sources of funding varied, with parent borrowing (16%), student borrowing (23%), and parent income and savings (32%) taking care of the majority of college costs. Scholarships and grants followed closely behind, making up 15 percent of college funding.
The average grant and scholarship awards and student loan amounts were roughly the same for low income families (families making below $50,000 a year), while middle income families relied most heavily on parent income and student loans, and high income families (families making above $100,000 a year) predominantly used parent income and savings to pay for school.
While more students than parents were likely to rule out a school at some point in their college search based on cost (63% vs. 54%), two in five families said that cost was not a consideration in choosing the right college for them, and 70 percent of students and parents said that future income was not a factor when determining how much to borrow.
Additionally, 20 percent of families reported using either a second mortgage or a credit card to pay some portion of tuition, while only 9 percent of families reported using a college savings plan, such as a 529 plan, to pay for part of tuition (though those who did were able to cover nearly $8,000 of the cost of college with one). The study also found that only 76 percent of students whose families made between $35,000 and $50,000 per year, many of whom may be eligible for state and federal grant programs, did not complete the FAFSA. Only 73 percent of familes making between $50,000 and $100,000 per year completed a FAFSA, despite many families' reliance on loans to pay for college.
The full text of the report is available on the Sallie Mae website.

Just in case you haven't heard enough reasons to kick your scholarship search into high gear, an article appearing last week in The Boston Globe reported that one third of parents have cut back on or altogether stopped saving for college. According to a study by Fidelity Investments, the current economic situation has left many parents less equipped to help their children pay for school.
The study found that parents have fewer resources to devote to students' college expenses due to drops in values of investments and home equity. To help make up this difference, 35 percent of parents reported plans to delay retirement in order to better help their college-aged children pay bills. Parents are also asking more of college students, with 55 percent expecting their kids to work part-time, 44 percent hoping their kids will live at home while attending college, and 37 percent encouraging their children to attend less expensive state colleges. Additionally, 62 percent of parents expect their children to take out student loans--a figure that makes sense coupled with the 16 percent increase in FAFSA applications reported earlier this year.
When coupled with anecdotal evidence, such as another Boston Globe piece highlighting Massachusettes families' increased interest in public universities for 2009, this study stresses the need for students to ramp up their efforts to find money for college. While federal student financial aid and private loans are being turned to more and more, college scholarships are still options for students industrious enough to find them. If you're already attending college or currently in the midst of the college application process and haven't yet started searching for scholarships, now is a good time to begin. Between now and February, a great number of scholarship opportunities will open up for applications, so the sooner you know what's out there, the better a chance you'll have of winning scholarships.

With all the talk about spending and stimulus legislation and bailouts, it can be easy to lose track of what benefits taxpayers can actually expect to receive. Most likely, everyone knows that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, perhaps better known as "the stimulus," will create jobs through funding "shovel-ready" projects and will put a little extra in paychecks through a tax rebate that will take effect this summer. You probably also know that there's also financial aid in there for education, but you may not be sure exactly what.
Frankly, so much federal legislation and talk of change has been floating around in the last two years that anyone who last paid a tuition bill as recently as 2007 probably doesn't even recognize financial aid in 2009. To help, we've prepared a breakdown of where student financial aid stands currently.
Pell Grants. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act increased the maximum Federal Pell Grant award from $4,731 for 2008-2009 to $5,350 for 2009-2010. The maximum Pell award will go up again in 2010-2011 to $5,500 under this legislation.
The income threshold to qualify for federal grant programs also increased. Now students with an expected family contribution (a number determined by completing the FAFSA) of up to $4,671 (up from $4,041 this year) can qualify for Pell grants. They will not receive the whole award, but even the minimum award has increased—from $400 for full-time students in 2007-2008 to $976 for the same group in 2009-2010, due in part to the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, which increased all Pell awards by $490.
Students qualifying for Federal Pell Grants can also pick up additional college funding through Academic Competitiveness Grants or SMART grants, which include Pell eligibility in their criteria. Many non-federal college scholarships and grants also use Pell eligibility to determine awards, so the newly Pell-eligible will definitely want to do a scholarship search to see what's out there.
Work-Study. More students will also see "federal work-study" on their financial aid award letter in 2009-2010 thanks to the economic stimulus legislation. More money is available to work-study programs that allow students to get a part-time job on (or occasionally off) campus and count the income as financial aid. Work-study programs provide great job opportunities for student workers, and since the money is given in the form of a paycheck, students can use these funds to pay their tuition bills or to cover living expenses.
Tax Benefits. One of the biggest perks of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is the creation of the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which replaces the Hope Credit. The tax benefits under Hope only went up to $1,800 and only could be taken for two years. The American Opportunity Tax Credit can be used for four years, can fund up to $2,500 of college costs (100% of the first $2,000 plus 25% of the next $2,000, for a total of $2,500), and up to 40% is refundable, so people who don't pay as much in taxes as they would qualify to receive in the credit can still get something.
Additionally, the income level at which the American Opportunity Tax Credit phases out is higher than the Hope credit, allowing individuals with incomes of up to $90,000 and married couples with incomes of up to $180,000 to take it.
Families will be able to start taking advantage of the American Opportunity Tax Credit on their 2009 taxes.
Other Benefits. Much more is included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. For example, students with 529 savings plans can now use that money to purchase a computer for school. Additionally, states will receive billions of dollars over the next two years, with a portion of the money devoted specifically to funding projects at public institutions of higher education, as well preventing or reversing massive reductions in state education spending.
While student loans stayed the same in the stimulus, they did receive a boost in the fall through the continuation of the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act, as well as other recent legislation, including some new aid to lenders.
If you'd like to read more about how recent legislation has affected paying for college, our blog archives feature breakdowns of the 2007 College Cost Reduction Act, the 2008 Higher Education Opportunity Act, the 2008 Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act, the 2008 GI Bill, and more examples of what's going on with college in Congress.

Paying for college can be a struggle. Nobody wants to repay student loans forever, not everybody is going to land a full-tuition scholarship, and federal student financial aid seldom takes care of all college costs. If you're a parent or relative looking ahead to cover college costs for a child, finding scholarships is a great step now, but you may also want to consider college savings plans.
Read below for information on 529 savings plans, which are one of the most popular and diverse options for college savings. If this is not for you, check back tomorrow for more information on other savings options.
529 Savings Plans While 529 plans have sustained average losses of 21 percent in the last year, they can still be a good idea, especially if you choose your plan carefully and have plenty of time to save. Many 529 plans allow you to move your savings into a much more conservative portfolio when the student nears college, an option they're sure to publicize based on the recent behavior of the stock market. While there are limits on how many changes can be made to a 529 plan per year, the plans are otherwise quite flexible and varied, so it's easy to find one that works for your situation. Plus, 529 plans can be taken out in the parent's name, rather than the student's, so they will only minimally affect a student's financial aid eligibility.
Additionally, contribution limits are high, income limits are nonexistent, minimum contribution requirements tend to be low, and many states offer a variety of incentives for residents who contribute to their plans. As an added bonus, many 529 plans can accept contributions from anybody anywhere, not just the people named on the account, and several programs have been created to take advantage of this. For example, some plans allow a portion of credit card purchases or purchases at certain stores to go towards a particular student's 529 plan.
Prepaid Tuition Savings Plans If you're hesitant about sticking money for college in the stock market with uncertain returns, another type of 529 plan is also gaining popularity. Prepaid tuition plans allow families to contribute a fixed amount now in exchange for a certain portion of tuition being covered in the future. Many states do this for their state colleges and universities, and the Independent 529 plan, which is accepted by over 200 private colleges, also fixes contributions to portions of future tuition. Both of these varieties eliminate worries about tuition inflation, though if tuition actually goes down between now and when the student starts college, a prepaid plan might not be the most lucrative option.
The Down Side 529 plans do have drawbacks and limitations. Money must be spent on education, and the expenses that qualify are limited to undergraduate tuition, fees, educational expenses like books, and now computers. However, if the student is enrolled at least half-time, money from a 529 plan can also go towards room and board, so even if your student earns a full-tuition scholarship, it's possible to still take advantage of 529 savings. Money must stay in a plan for at least 3 years, so if you're saving for a college sophomore, you're out of luck with these. However, you can transfer the unused portion of a 529 plan to another family member without incurring the heavy withdrawal penalties, and it may also be possible to use the funds towards graduate or professional school.
Plans also vary from state to state, so your state's plan might not have the best benefits for you, or might not offer as sweet a deal in terms of tax breaks or low fees as the next state over offers its residents. Luckily, you can shop around among a variety of plans, including ones offered by several other states.
529 plans are not the only college saving option, though they remain the most popular and perhaps the most well-known. Check back tomorrow for information on the rest of the pack.
March 6, 2009
Continuing our theme from yesterday, today's blog post centers on more options for saving for college. Yesterday, we discussed 529 plans, popular college savings vehicles that have been battered by recent financial troubles. If you're considering saving for college but are not sold on a 529 plan, the most common alternatives are discussed below.
Coverdell ESA. Coverdell Education Savings Accounts are similar to 529 plans in most respects, but do have their own benefits and drawbacks. Rather than being sold by a state, they are sold by banks and brokerages, which can charge their own management fees. Because there aren't any state ties, there aren't any residency limitations, though there also aren't any state tax breaks for enrolling in a Coverdell ESA.
Coverdell accounts allow more flexible investment options and unlimited changes to investments. They can also be used to pay for high school and elementary school expenses, in addition to college costs. Otherwise, the expenses Coverdell and 529 plans can be used for are roughly the same: tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board if over half-time, and other qualified educational expenses.
One major limitation to the Coverdell ESA is the $2,000 annual contribution cap. This is the limit per account holder, not per contributor. Additionally, individuals must have an adjusted gross income of $110,000 or below to contribute, and $95,000 or below to contribute the full $2,000. Coverdell accounts are held in the beneficiary's name, so they can hurt the student on the FAFSA. They also must be used or cashed out by the time the beneficiary turns 30, and they go to the beneficiary no matter what, while 529 plans can be given back to the parent in charge of the account if the student chooses not to go to college.
Roth IRA. The Roth IRA, typically used as a retirement account, can also be used to save for school. As long as you're withdrawing contributions, rather than earnings, there is no penalty if you are using the money from your IRA for educational expenses. However, a college savings plan might be the better way to go if you're setting up an account specifically for your student (especially since contributions to a Roth IRA must come from income the beneficiary earned from working), and dipping into your retirement funds to pay for college is widely regarded as a less than ideal choice by financial experts. But if you choose to take it, the option is there.
UTMA. The Uniform Transfer to Minors Act allows assets to be given as gifts to minors without the establishment of a trust. While the options explored up to this point have been savings accounts or investments, UTMA covers everything, including property. An adult manages these assets in a custodial account until the owner reaches the age of 18 or 21, depending on the state. In the meantime, the funds in the account can be used to benefit the child, including taking care of educational expenses. Once the owner reaches the age of majority, the assets are theirs to use as they please. This can mean paying for school, or it can mean making less desirable financial choices. Since these assets belong to the student, they would count against them for student financial aid.
Government Bonds. While typically regarded as the province of grandparents, government savings bonds (Series EE is the most common) are also an option for paying for college. Bonds can be purchased online or at banks, and redeemed later for cash. As opposed to stock market-based savings plans which can lose big during crashes, government bonds are going to continue to grow as long as there's a government to honor them. And if there's no longer a United States government, well, you might have more to worry about than paying for college.
Also, since no rules state that a savings bond must be redeemed for college costs, the money can be used towards paying off student loans, covering college living expenses...or partying it up during spring break in Mexico.
While EE Savings Bonds grow at a steady rate, they do grow very slowly. You're also limited to a purchase of $5,000 per calendar year. Since they're such a safe bet, they can be great gifts for high school students, but a market-based option might be a better way to grow savings and maximize returns for younger children.
May 29, 2009
Today is May 29, also known as "529 College Savings Day," named after 529 plans, which are popular state-sponsored college savings plans. Today has been designated as a day to raise awareness of the importance of saving for college, as well as ways to do so. While 529 plans suffered along with everything else in the stock market, they are still being emphasized as a valuable tool for saving money for college.
According to a poll conducted by Gallup and Sallie Mae, 62 percent of families with college-bound children are already saving for college in some capacity, with the majority planning to contribute at least half of a child's tuition. About half of families that are saving already regularly contribute to college funds, and around a third use state 529 plans. The Chronicle of Higher Education has more information on the survey, as well as a link to the results.
If you're curious about college savings plans, we have some resources to help you get started. A few months ago, we did a couple blog posts on saving for college, featuring a discussion of 529 plans, as well as other savings options. While the focus of today is on saving for college, it's also a good time to look into college scholarships, especially for students still in high school. Read up on college savings accounts today, then do a free college scholarship search to find more options for paying for school.

Personal savings, college endowments and college savings plans all suffered when the stock market took a nose dive last fall. Students, families and even schools who thought they were financially secure soon learned otherwise and had to scramble to come up with alternative plans to pay bills. Now that things are beginning to even out and return to a state of normalcy, those affected by the recession are looking towards recovery and assessing their long-term plans. For some college savings plans, especially "guaranteed" tuition savings plans, the future looks particularly bleak, even without further financial setbacks.
Guaranteed tuition savings plans are one of several types of college savings plans, which allow families to save for college tax-free and often involve other incentives, as well. Prepaid tuition savings plans allow families to pay tuition ahead of time at certain schools, ensuring that bills will be paid for students, even if tuition skyrockets, as it seems likely to continue doing. Many families in states where they're offered have purchased them for young children who may not be attending college for another 15 years or more, but some plans have already begun to run out of money due to losses in the stock market and the sharp rise of college costs.
As a result, states including Texas, Alabama and Pennsylvania are struggling with the prospect of not being able to fund their current obligations to these plans. Several prepaid tuition plans have been closed off to new investors, including the plans in Texas and Alabama. Despite this, Alabama may not have enough money to pay tuition for all students currently enrolled in its prepaid plan. Pennsylvania has introduced legislation to remove "guaranteed" from its tuition savings plan's name and make it clear that the state has no obligation to bail out the plan if it doesn't earn enough money to meet its obligations.
Texas has also announced a rule change for people who currently have money invested in its guaranteed tuiton plan. When they invested, families were told that if their children did not go to one of the state colleges whose tuition the plan will fully fund, they would be able to close their account and withdraw the full amount of tuition at those institutions at that time. Now, the Texas Prepaid Higher Education Tuition Board has said that families whose children do not attend one of the schools included in the plan can only withdraw the amount they invested, minus an administrative fee. State legislators have urged the board to reconsider, but so far it appears that those with money invested have three choices: they can pull their money out before the rule goes into effect on October 30, they can limit their children's college choices to those sanctioned by the tuition savings plan, or they can take a guaranteed loss on their "guaranteed" tuition investment.
To help you avoid the problems currently facing Texas parents, US News has a helpful article on questions to ask before investing in a prepaid college savings plan. Prepaid tuition plans, 529 plans, and other college savings vehicles can still be a good idea, even though they've been through difficult times. As with many things, the trick to being successful in your choice is first doing your research and figure out which plan is best for you and your family.

The first day of classes means new professors, new classmates and a completely new routine. It is also about the time that universities distribute refund checks to students. Refund checks are extra funds that are left over after all school fees have been paid. These funds are the result of excess scholarships, grants and loans. Refund checks can come in handy, as students can use the extra money to buy a laptop, food, books or to pay off another loan. Some students, however, are not wise with their money and are left scrounging for pennies before the end of the semester.
I always hear students complaining about how they do not have any money left from their refund check long before finals roll around. They chose to splurge on clothes, the newest Droid phone, expensive restaurants or they spent money on friends. Buying a few extra "fun" items is not something that should necessarily be avoided but you should maintain a budget and be conscious about how much money you are spending. I have taken money from my refund check and separated it into two separate bank accounts. The money in my savings account rarely gets touched unless it is an emergency and the money in my checking account is what I use on a daily basis. I keep less money in the checking account so I am not tempted to spend more than I intend to.
While in college, it is especially important to learn how to manage your money. If you get a refund check back from the school, this could be your chance to start learning how to do so. You will feel great knowing that you will not be labeled a broke college student!

For many students fresh out of high school, the idea of going to a community college is not appealing. After all, one of the most exciting aspects of attending college is living on campus away from home, right? Well, living on campus may not be all it's cracked up to be.
Although few people would argue that universities' clubs, fraternities and parties are superior to anything offered at a community college, the stress of being away from home for the first time, learning to live with one or more roommates and being forced to make new friends can be quite an adjustment. Community colleges help students ease into the transition between high school and college more gradually.
Then there's the cost: Tuition at a community college per year costs $2,713 per year, whereas four-year universities cost $7,605 per year on average. This second figure assumes you're living in-state but if you're living out-of-state, expect to be set back about $11,990 your first year. If cost is the major deciding factor, your decision is easy: Go to a community college for your first two years, then transfer. With all the extra money you're saving, you can throw your own parties, buy that new car you've been wanting or just save up for when you do go to a university.
Even if you're not going to your dream school for your first two years, you'll still have the opportunity to experience campus life after you get your associate degree at a community college. And who knows? Maybe you'll even find out community colleges aren't as bad as they're made out to be!

Your Kindle book loan for So. You're in Love With a Narcissist. by Alexandra Nouri MSW has been returned. You may now access this title by checking Archived Items on your Kindle or Kindle reading application
Now available for loan for 2 weeks to anyone that wants it. Just PM me your email address, and I'll send it out.
When I asked them to clean their rooms I was told to leave them alone. I was not allowed to parent unless it was fun. Well that didn't turn out so well. I can't go into it right now but wow. My eyes keep opening wider and wider at the revelations in this thread. Just wow.
If that kindle book is still available I'd like to borrow it. Can I simply download it and return it? I've never used a kindle book so not sure if I can do that. I have done Melanie Tonya Evans book with a download so hopefully I could do that? Please let me know if I'm not to late.
Thanks folks.

Just send me your email address in a private message. You'll get a notification from Amazon that it's there. Just follow the steps from the email. You don't need a kindle or anything. You can download a free Kindle app to most any device. (I use my macbook and android phone mostly, but MrWNW uses the android tablet and PC.)
It'll then be available in your kindle app for 2wks, then it'll auto return to me, like the email I posted above and be available for me to loan out to others.
It's a nice feature. I wish all Kindle books gave the "loan this title" option, but unfortunately a good many don't. I try to loan out the ones that allow me to though.
Apparently each one can only be loaned once, which is why so many of mine seem unloanable.
Lending Kindle Books
Kindle books can be loaned to another reader for a period of 14 days. The borrower does not need to own a Kindle -- Kindle books can also be read using our free Kindle reading applications for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry, and Android devices. Not all books are lendable -- it is up to the publisher or rights holder to determine which titles are eligible for lending. The lender will not be able to read the book during the loan period. Books can only be loaned once, and subscription content is not currently available for lending.
Poop policy. :(
No wonder his IC didn't make any difference. He's a master liar. HE abused ME! HE did! But he twisted it all around with his IC even back then, even when I was trying desperately to save our marriage. No wonder when we'd have joint MC with our two respective IC present, no wonder the shit that came out of his IC's mouth made no sense to me and my IC whatsoever. The way that man talked to me, his body language & tone of voice, no wonder it was futile. That stupid IC had no clue at ALL. He was completely duped by STBX.
Co-dependent? Him? Good Lord, what a joke.
It appears STBXN has found his inner anger.
Today, I find that he is going to say he couldn't have broken the PO, because one box was left unchecked... the one that says he will stay away from ME. (I took that to the prosecutor's office, and gave them a copy of his letter and the PO itself.) My guess is he will be laughed out of court on Friday, but the side effect he may not want is a NEW copy with the box marked. I've seen similar things happen, and the paragraph box WAS marked, just not the "petitioner" box underneath. Clearly, he was restrained, he is just using this to get out of the PO break trial. Oh, but his stated reason is so we can settle this "without conflict or animosity and find closure." Yeah, you can just get divorced without a judge. He's already said in court that he wanted to do this without getting the court involved.
But there's more. Now, it seems I am the abusive one who he is afraid of. Why, he was even contemplating getting a PO himself. My rages and threats over the years, physical abuse, falsehoods and manipulation of my DS's undeveloped (15 now 16 year old) mind... well, it's just horrifying. He's asking for a GAL, and I'm not opposed. In fact, it would be great, because the things the kids will say, as well as the others who will speak for me, will all put the lie to his bs.
And he's asked for a continuance. I'm SO stunned. He doesn't want to have the divorce trial next month. Oh, no he doesn't. He wants to get a lawyer. His family is helping him seek legal counsel. Meaning his psycho sister, of course. But that's ok. Tomorrow is the consult with one DV attorney, and the 6th is another. In the meantime between the two, I'll be contacting legal aid here, and seeking an atty of my own, if the first one won't go pro bono.
So, NatureGirl, we are in the same damn boat.
be prepared...this type of stuff is in the NPD handbook...
[This message edited by Kajem at 5:32 PM, April 23rd (Tuesday)]
It was a great consult, and she is willing to help me if I need it, but she honestly doesn't think I will. I enjoyed the hour, and came out feeling so much more powerful and relaxed than I was going in. She and my dv advocate are great friends, and now I know why. She's a really cool atty.
It sure was nice to feel like I'm doing everything right and it will all come out ok in the end.
Doing a happy dance with you !
I know what it feels like when the burden gets off your shoulders !
What a relief!
So glad the DV advocate and attorney empowered you. What a blessing they are for the women in your area.
Awesome post.... just awesome.
Hugs, and joining gma in the happy dance.
From this website, along with many others.
He fits descriptions to a T. ALL OF THEM.
So sorry you find yourself here. We call ourselves the Tribe. Welcome to the Tribe.
Keep reading and posting... lots of valuable information from the members here.
I think mine is borderline with NPD comorbidity.
what does that mean for me? In the last few days been hearing and seeing him act crazy.
social page taken down repeatedly, people say he's being a massive ass, and I saw him drive up and down my street last night TWENTY TIMES over the course of 3 or so hours.
I don't know what to make of it. Typically by now I would have tried to approach him and sort it and set myself up for another round of 3-4 months of trying to prove I am worth something before getting upset enough at his anctic to lose it and be called insane and crazy blah blah blah.
I am just sitting here thinking wow look how much I meant to him. He totally abandoned me and is obviously being nutty, but can't bring his wonderful self to the point of even saying a peep to me. Instead he drives up and down the street probably hoping to trigger me into reaching out like I always have.
I don't WANT to reach out. I am sad and sorry things are going the way they are, but I can't be in any relationship where some self absorbed person is trying to control and dominate and degrade me.
I do care about him, but I cross off the calendar each day that passes that I am successful at NC. About a month now for real.
I guess I am lucky we didn't get married or I would be getting dragged around like some of you are.
I started the Melanie Tonya Evans program. To be honest I feel utter crap. I guess she makes sense, but it's kind of overwhelming to me right now.
I am so proud of you for not dancing to his tune. After so long it becomes a habit. And like any bad habit it takes time to break. But you are almost a month NC... Awesome!!!
Funny.. he is showing everyone that he is everything he used to say about you. With time they will understand WHY? If he runs true to form, he will never understand how you can not succumb to his lovely personality (tic).
Today you are the NC Queen. If I had a tiara I'd give it to you to wear. You go girl!

Kalliopeia~ Great job on maintaining NC! I know it's a crazy time with the drive bys and his acting out. Please take care of yourself and keep a watchful eye on yourself.
I fell off the NC wagon and got quite a few new hurts over the last week or so to add to the long list so far.
But I'm back on it. My STBX won't change and I know it. He is incapable of being a someone I could call a friend so all I can do is block him out as much as I can considering that we have young children. But NO MORE personal contact. If it isn't about the kids, money and done via text/email...I don't want to hear it.
Kalli, you are doing very well at maintaining NC! I may not have had your strength, so pat yourself on the back and keep it up. I know it's hard to do, but I love that you're marking it on the calendar. Keep doing that, because it's an awesome idea. You have a visual reminder of how far you've come! Great job!
As for me, I was supposed to have two hearings today as per STBX, but both were stricken. Apparently, it's not acceptable to only notify yourself and the court, not acceptable to fail to file a return of service, and also not to serve the papers properly. Gee, isn't it too bad he couldn't get the PO dropped just in time to go to his hearing this afternoon?
His big plan was to get it dropped so he could say that if there wasn't a PO in effect, he couldn't have broken it; then at the failure to appear/bail-jumping hearing in an hour, there would be no reason to be there, as he hadn't committed a crime, right?
So, he didn't get what he wanted there, didn't get all his nasty statements about me admitted, and basically pushed us two weeks closer to the divorce trial. So if he files this crap again, we'll be so close to the trial he won't get anywhere.
Guess he doesn't know more than everyone else.
Oh, and thanks, Kajem, for the YAY above.

SoHurt, when I was going through my divorce years ago, my ex husband used to come to court after filing all of his bogus crap and he would have this big briefcase and lots of papers he made loud paper noises with. It was hilarious. Looking back, I am pretty sure he is a narc, too.
Anyway, the judge just had a fit after a while. I always took the high road. Not once did I offer a counter attack.
He never got to me the way my current ex has.
Anyway, what a relief it was when that divorce was over. It took 18 months. And we live in a no fault state where 90 days gets you your divorce. My ex husband drug it out with a million stupidities.
These guys really tick off their lawyers too.

It utilizes a host of optimization techniques to compile your code faster on both full and incremental builds.
Release Notes: This release adds experimental support for generating XCode project files. There has been extensive work on scalability, and Meson can now compile almost all of Qt Creator. This project of several thousand source files is configured in less than two seconds, and a no-op build takes less than 0.1 seconds.
Mutt Folder List is a mutt patch that adds a sidebar showing all mail folders and the total and number of new messages each contains. It allows users to hide or display the sidebar with a single keystroke, and optionally highlights folders with new messages. Users can scroll up and down the list of folders and open the selected folder, and configure the sidebar width, colors, and key bindings.
Release Notes: The sidebar patch was updated for mutt 1.5.23.
cryptmount is a utility for creating and managing secure filing systems on GNU/Linux systems. After initial setup, it allows any user to mount or unmount filesystems on demand, solely by providing the decryption password, with any system devices needed to access the filing system being configured automatically. A wide variety of encryption schemes (provided by the kernel dm-crypt system and the libgcrypt library) can be used to protect both the filesystem and the access key. The protected filing systems can reside in either ordinary files or disk partitions. The package also supports encrypted swap partitions, and automatic configuration on system boot-up.
Release Notes: This release ports all LUKS functionality to use libcryptsetup, adds a commandline option to query the encrypted filesystem status, and improves Doxygen documentation of the source code.
cdist is a usable configuration management system. It adheres to the KISS principle and is being used in both small and enterprise-grade environments. It is an alternative to other configuration management systems like cfengine, bcfg2, chef, and puppet.

Release Notes: This release adds some missing features such as automatic NAT helper module loading, more flexible (and complex) forwarding rules, actual installation instructions, and general bug fixes.
Immutable Collections for Java is a library providing immutable/persistent collection classes for Java. While collections are immutable, they provide methods for adding and removing values by creating new modified copies of themselves. Each copy shares almost all of its structure with other copies, to minimize memory consumption. The library includes a singly-linked (cons/cddr style) list/stack, an integer tree-based indexed list, a 2-3 tree-based random access indexed list, a 2-3 tree-based map, a hash tree-based map, and hash- and tree-based sets. All collections provide immutable Cursor as well as standard Iterator classes for looping through all elements. A utility class provides functional style algorithmic processing of Cursors, including foldLeft, foldRight, collect, select, and reject. The 2-3 tree and integer tree classes are optimized for performance and can be used alongside java.util Collections when immutability is needed for safe data sharing.
Release Notes: This release improves performance and reduces the memory footprint of hash maps and sets. It also allows use of Cursors in foreach loops.
The audit package contains the user-space utilities for creating audit rules, as well as for storing, searching, and generating reports from the audit records generated by the audit subsystem in the Linux 2.6 kernel and higher. It has a real-time plugin interface for event analysis and remote logging of events.
Release Notes: Improved ARM and AARCH64 support, a new checkpoint feature in ausearch, an update of aulast to support recent LOGIN events in recent kernels, plus various cleanups, bugfixes, and documentation improvements.
H2 is an SQL database engine written in Java that implements the JDBC API. Embedded, server, and clustering modes are available. A browser based console application is included. The database has strong security features. Disk based and in-memory databases and tables are supported.
Release Notes: This beta version uses a the new storage engine (MVStore) by default, which should be more robust and SSD-friendly.
Diskless Remote Boot in Linux (DRBL) provides a diskless or systemless environment for client machines. It works on Debian, Mandriva, Red Hat, Fedora, and SuSE. Unlike LTSP, it uses distributed hardware resources and makes it possible for clients to fully access local hardware. It also includes Clonezilla, a partitioning and disk cloning utility similar to Symantec Ghost.
Release Notes: The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2014/Apr/05). The Linux kernel was updated to 3.13.7-1. drbl was updated to 2.8.8-drbl1, and clonezilla was updated to 3.10.1-drbl1. live-config was updated to 3.0.23-1.drbl6. An issue with "utc=no" was fixed. Grub was updated to 2.02~beta2-8.

Welcome to the
The Financial Management Program administers the engineering planning advance, engineering grant, and revolving loan programs. It also writes grant and loan awards for pollution control and water supply treatment and distribution and wastewater treatment and collections systems, and solid waste projects, and performs audit functions for the above projects.
Growth Center and Growth Management Guidance -
The Growth Center and Growth Management Guidance Document provides guidance for municipalities, consultants, Agency of Natural Resources' staff and others interpreting the Municipal Pollution Control Priority System Rule. The rule establishes criteria for Agency funding of wastewater treatment facilities. The Guidance Document includes an explanation (types and characteristics) of "growth centers" for the purpose of the rule amendment and state regulatory proceedings associated with any infrastructure improvements. The Guidance Document also identifies and evaluates the effectiveness of local planning and regulatory tools that are available to municipalities to manage growth associated with sewer line extensions outside of growth centers.
Guidance Document Update - Engineering Fee Allowances -
An engineering fee allowance applicable to water supply and wastewater projects funded by DEC grant and loan programs was originally established in 1987 and was amended periodically to adjust for inflation. The revision below addresses concerns about the appropriateness of the previous allowance to address engineering cost for very small projects and very large projects, and is based on more recent data from Vermont and Connecticut.
Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund
The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program provides low cost loan financing to municipal and privately owned public water systems for capital improvements that improve public health protection and facilitate compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act.

AUGUSTA — A city man is facing growing and trafficking drug charges after police said they seized more than 100 marijuana plants from his Chamberlain Street apartment.
Kennebec County Deputy Sheriff Jacob Pierce takes an inventory Monday of marijuana plants collected seized at an apartment on Chamberlain Street in Augusta. Deputies seized over 100 plants and several pounds of processed marijuana from the residence, according to Detective Sgt. Frank Hatch.

Donald Reid, 50, of Augusta, was charged with aggravated marijuana cultivation, unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs and two separate charges of unlawful possession of scheduled drugs, according to Kennebec County Sheriff Randall Liberty.
Reid was being held Monday at the Kennebec County jail in lieu of $2,500 cash bail.
Sheriff's deputies found the marijuana growing operation about noon Monday during a search of Reid's apartment at 19 Chamberlain St., Liberty said. Deputies found 103 marijuana plants in various stages of growth, he said, and there were 30 4-foot-tall plants that were mature and budded.
"He had a very small apartment," Liberty said. "More than half the living space was converted over to marijuana growing."
Police also seized processed marijuana, suboxone strips and four pills of muscle relaxant cyclobenzaprine, for which Reid had no prescription, Liberty said.
He estimated the value of the seized drugs exceeds $10,000.
"It's a medium-sized operation," Liberty said.
Reid was convicted of marijuana trafficking in the 1980s in Florida, Liberty said.
Sheriff's investigators secured a search warrant after developing information from various sources, Liberty said. "We found just what we expected to find," he said.
Craig Crosby -- 621-5642

Comments On Nov 18, 2011:Have been using this oil on my 2 stroke engines last 20 years. Use it in my Stihl PRO weed eater and Husqvarna chain saw. The Stihl is 20 years old and the chain saw 15 years old. Use on farms for fence cleaning and cut hundreds of ton of wood, including hedge tree, a very hard wood. Run 100:1 for smoke free operation, no oily mess from exhaust muffler, dry like a 4 stroke. Dealer did not believe me so took the equipment to him for compression check last year and he recorded 180 psi. Just like a new engine. Only thing done to the equipment is change of air cleaner and spark plug. Starts and runs strong still, no evidence of engine wear when coming to performance and noise. This is no home owner use but been used to clean hundreds of acres farm land.
